I agree Wallace was pouting like T.O. He was talking to Ben and Brown. He looked disgruntled as heck. Seems like he was complaining to Ben. Leftwich runs the scout team with Cotchery and Sanders, so he has better chemistry with them. I think Wallace felt he was open a few times and Leftwich looked to Sanders/Crotchery and Mikey wasnt too happy about it. He certainly wasnt putting forth full effort. The TD and not getting his feet down was pathetic. Cotchery also dropped a TD pass (Good D). Wallace had a fumble. We just couldnt make a play to save our lives

He was a third-round draft pick because he was raw coming out of college. He only knew how to run go patterns at Ole Miss. Seems like not a whole lot has changed, although occasionally he'll appear to put effort into something that's not a go pattern.

Like I have said since last season, Antonio Brown is the best WR on this team and it shows when he is out. Wallace is a complementary piece to brown and he knows it which is why he doesn't want to stay in Pittsburgh. he knows Brown's star will outshine him and his ego can't handle that.

Disgusting he didn't go low on that one throw. That is a catch an elite WR can easily make. We always argue about how Brown needs Wallace to get open. Well I think we are seeing that Wallace needs Brown to get open.

I never hope for an injury to a Steeler, but last night I sure wanted Haley to call a crossing pattern and see Wallace get the wind knocked out of him. His performanc elast night was that of someone who didn't care.

The first glimpse we got into Wally's apathy/disinterest/effort was in the final drive against GB in the SuperBowl. We had let go of Santonio and it was Wally's time to step up. And he just looked lost/confused/disinterested - I have no idea what to call it.

I don't know what it is. He makes big plays. He gets really excited for his teammates when they make a big play. But other times he turns into a zombie. Something's not right. Last night he looked beyond awful. But then I saw him blocking on a JD run. I was taken back. Every time he looks lost, he surprises me and does something.

Makes me wonder what's going on with him sometimes? Does he have a nagging injury? Is it a mental issue? I can't explain it, but it looks like Wally plays like the expression on Jay Cutler's face sometimes.

afraid to get hit? by what? the ground. the ball was a good 4/5 feet short.

I agree with you NJ. Lefty made a bad throw and skipped that ball well ahead of Wallace. No one is making that catch.

Wallace was putting Corners on their back as a blocker. Shocked me. We never said Wallace could have caught it. We are mad about the effort. I'm pissed at Wallace but AB is not a better receiver sorry. Speed is the name of the game and Wallace has it. I remember when the Nation hated Santonio Holmes for stealing the MVP from Ben (Like it was Tones fault). Wallace was praised like AB is being praised. Once Wallace leaves will the Nation turn on AB as well? Wallace blows the top off of coverage with his speed but he has got to put forth more effort. He should have had a TD pass (Didnt get feet down)
